Thank you. Since there is so much misinformation, I appreciate your input to help slow down the panic mode. There are people who believe they are trying to help only to be passing on unhelpful information.

Who determines what is deemed as misinformation??? When we have National media controlled by only six different corporations, known as a monopoly in my day, it has been proven that this National media is nothing but propaganda to fit their agenda. Anybody in their right mind did any research that is common knowledge. So is this information determined by high money corporations or research of the public??

It seems that the real cause of death from this virus is a weak immune system. So why are we not talking about strengthening our immunity through proven methods like healthy food, exercise and less stress? Superior nutrition and less junk food is known to increase our resistance to viruses. Dr. Joel Fuhrman wrote the book: Super Immunity and I highly recommend it. Increasing your immunity is just as important and social distancing, washing your hands and taking pills! Also, Dr. Michael Greger had a book How Not To Die, about healthier lifestyles. America is the sickest country in the world in chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. These are know to pave the way to death from COVID-19, regardless of age or occupation. Why are none or the docs on the MSM talking about this? There is no profit in prevention. But this CAN be largely prevented!

Re: current Covid-19 data. As a retired healthcare professional >42 yrs, specializing in both physical & mental health areas, which included practice in acute care hospitals, clinics, private homes & those living in the streets – teaching good health promotion, I REALLY appreciate your efforts to provide Nextdoor users w/ the best resources for checking the latest FACTUAL news available from the most reliable sources. THANK YOU!!!

We are so blessed to live in such a community where neighbors are like close family members they are so concerned about each other, they share and very helpful. Our family will pray for all with generous and kinder heart.God bless you all.

Omg that video of Miles’ 6 th birthday made me cry—such kindness and thoughtfulness by neighbors. It made my day!!!! So much gloom and sadness right now—thank you for reminding me of the goodness of people—especially when a child is involved. ❤️❤️❤️🌈

NextDoor is proving to be an excellent tool for navigating this pandemic crisis in so many ways. However there is one way that I fear it may be increasing the likelihood of spreading the disease. That way is through Nextdoor continuing to allow posting of free items and items for sale by neighbors. I’m sure I need not specify how this is a danger with such highly contagious disease. Please consider suspending these features on NextDoor until all our communities have emerged from the Shelter-in-Place directives.
Thank you!

PS I preferred to send this request directly to someone who can make such a decision at Nextdoor’s corporate office, but could not find an appropriate email to send to.
